FRIENDS SEASON 7 EPISODE 21 ONLINE SERIES
Sheldon is one of only four characters to appear in every episode of the series along with Leonard, Howard and Raj.Ĭharacterization Early life Lorre said that when Jim Parsons auditioned for the role, he was "so startlingly good" that he was asked to reaudition "to make sure he hadn't gotten lucky". Chuck Lorre originally intended Johnny Galecki to play the role, but Galecki thought he would be "better suited" for the character of Leonard. He and his friend Leonard Hofstadter are named in honor of actor/producer Sheldon Leonard and Nobel Prize Laureate Leon Cooper. The character of Sheldon Cooper was inspired by a computer programmer personally known to series co-creator Bill Prady. Some viewers have asserted that Sheldon's personality is consistent with Asperger syndrome to which co-creator Bill Prady has stated that Sheldon's character was neither conceived nor developed with regard to Asperger's, although Parsons has said that in his opinion, Sheldon "couldn't display more traits" of Asperger's. These characteristics provide the majority of the humor involving him, which has caused him to be described as the show's breakout character. He exhibits highly idiosyncratic behavior and a general lack of humility, empathy, and toleration. He has a genius-level IQ of 187 (in The Big Bang Theory it is said that his and Leonard's IQs add up to 360, and Leonard says his IQ is 173, and in Young Sheldon his mother says that he has the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking), but displays a fundamental lack of social skills, a tenuous understanding of humor, and difficulty recognizing irony and sarcasm in other people, although he himself often employs them.
In season 10, Sheldon moves across the hall with his girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler ( Mayim Bialik), in the former apartment of Leonard's wife Penny ( Kaley Cuoco). The adult Sheldon is a senior theoretical physicist at The California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and for the first ten seasons of The Big Bang Theory shares an apartment with his colleague and best friend, Leonard Hofstadter ( Johnny Galecki) they are also friends and coworkers with Howard Wolowitz ( Simon Helberg) and Raj Koothrappali ( Kunal Nayyar).
The character's childhood is the focus of Young Sheldon: the series' first season is set in 1989 when nine-year-old prodigy Sheldon has skipped ahead five grades, to start high school alongside his older brother. For his portrayal, Parsons has won four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a TCA Award, and two Critics' Choice Television Awards. Sheldon Lee Cooper, Ph.D., Sc.D., is a fictional character in the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory and its spinoff series Young Sheldon, portrayed by actors Jim Parsons and Iain Armitage respectively (with Parsons as the latter series' narrator).
